What a lot of people don't know is that Wyclef started off as a battle rapper, when he decided that he would rhyme.

I lived in the projects and the ghetto, and turned the negative into a positive.

I'm not going away fast; I've been around for a while, and plan to be around for a while more.

People often associate raves with drugs, but for me raves are more associated with self-expression.

It's important, when you see darkness, to understand that there's light ahead of that, and I'm the living testimony of that, you dig?

My battle raps couldn't get me groceries from the supermarket.

Mama, you know you raised me with no father figure. I wanna take this time to thank you, even though I'm doing life.
